20081003 || Addressing Devotees || China #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

Sam Ram, Jam Ram. Then we're going to have a number of speakers. First initiation and additional first offense is to avoid the voice of the Holy Name, the glories of the Holy Name. And then like that, we get to know how great the Holy Name is. We offend the Vaishnavas for giving us the words of the Holy Name. That is considered a mad elephant. This means that the offense to the bodies is considered like a mad elephant. Are there elephants in China? Big elephant. If the elephant goes in the garden, instruction in the garden. Stamp on the plant. If the plant is pulled out by the root and stomped on by the beach, then the leaves will dry and the plant will die. Recommended. If you want a good garden, then you don't let elephants inside your garden. Especially in the elephant like that. So we should build a big wall around our Bhakti kripa. And don't let this offense of enter into the garden. Otherwise devotional people forget smashed. There's mental offenses, there's verbal offenses and there's physical offenses. But second offense, of course is to offend the to think that the devas or other angels or devas names are equal to or independent or greater than. You can get some highest activity from chanting tables. That we shouldn't have a spiritual master, that he's guiding us and chanting the Holy Name of the practice. Devotional service. Most important instructions are the vows we take at the time of initiation. There may be other. Sometimes the body says, can I get an instruction? The guru is not giving me any instructions. So they feel like I want some instructions. You're guru maybe after medicine to get instructions. If you don't follow it, then it's an offense. So we hear about the glories of the Holy Name also from the scriptures. Other scriptures that are following in the fifth and sixth offenses to the Holy Name are to think the glories of the Holy Name should be an exaggeration or to give some speculative meaning of the Holy Name for the sake of paja. Remember there was a famous poet in the beginning of the Hare Ka movement who was from New York, east side. His name was Allen Ginsberg. But he made a speculation. Someone asked him why the Hari Nam works so well. So he said the dog controls the breath. So it's the pranayama they can. It's actually offensive to the Holy Name. What's the difference between the Holy Name of Krishna and Krishna? Krishna means he was trying to trick you. You're very sharp to accept the Brahma. You shouldn't just put some Material speculation. Sometimes we read that we chant the Hare Krishna mantra and you get so many blessings. Somebody may think oh, how is that possible? So that kind of a Tao, that's also offense. Seventh offense is to sin and the strength of chanting. By chanting you get rid of so many sins. You shouldn't give us his holy name, so we should sin more. We're trying to cheat Krishna. Krishna gave us a holy name for so many spiritual reasons. If you try to cheat Krishna, then the holy name will not work anymore too. It's also a very important sin to avoid accidentally if someone does some bad karma and then they beg for forgiveness and they humbly chant, that's another thing. They make a plan. That's where it's. Then we should try to treat Krishna because he's the most expert. So you want to treat him. It's like drinking water underwater on a fast day. No, no, no. Drinking being underwater and not drinking water in a fasting day. Being underwater and not drinking water? No, no. Being underwater and drinking water. Some days are called nirjala test. Have you ever done a nirjala test? So what does that mean? Sounds very funny. To drink water under the water. Somebody goes to the Ganges to take his or her bath. No water drinking, fasting. I break everybody big tapasa goes under the water. Nobody can see what you're doing. Whether you are fasting to show other people or fasting to please Krishna. What's the point to take a santalfa when you fast and then you cheat everyone. You're cheating yourself because Krishna is that going to give you the blessing? Today is not a fast day. Mostly you don't have to do me and Jat but sometimes someone that they want to do, you should do it sincerely. That please Krishna. Its offense is to consider the highest activities, meritorious activities, good karmas. To be the equal with chanting give you good birth, money, health. Chanting Hare Krishna is much more powerful than this. Go back to Godhead, you can develop ordinary good time. Do some other good time and also no problem. We preach the grace of the Holy name to the faithless peoples of language. Tell someone with no faith chain ale Krishna, get rid of all your bad karma. I was apostle discussing last night how Buddhist monk told me that not monk, but Shankarak, the Pope of the Tibuis. You can chant any mantra. Chanting mantras is authorized in China. Somebody liked that the body was vegetarian but was upset that they were chanting Hare Krishna mantra. Why not Buddhism? We told the Buddhas that by chanting Hare Krishna you get rid of bad karma. You tell them, I feel happy, I feel good, concentration, anything you want, but it is. You tell them too many glories of the Holy Name, they'll say, no, I don't believe in all that. Don't tell people their worries until they're a strong enough faith in the chair. Yeah. So, thank you for watching our videos. Be sure to subscribe to our channel. We publish new videos every day.
